Betting, Total Goals VS the Point Line.

Betting on hockey is similar to betting on baseball. This
is especially true if you consider the fact that goals in the
sport played on ice basically equal runs in the sport played
on dry land.

Total goals scored is one way to bet hockey. This is a classic
nhl betting line for an over/under wager that might look like
this:

Over 4.5 goals -180

Under 4.5 goals +210

Using the above information, if you bet the “over”
hockey betting line then in order for you to win the total number
of goals scored by both teams in the game would have to be 5
or more. The -180 is the multiplier, so if you put $10 down
on the over and you win you would get back a total of $18.00.
If you wagered on the under NHL lines then the total number
of goals would have to be 4 or less for you to get back a total
of $21.00 on a $10 bet.

With the decrease in the size of goalie equipment, rule changes
to create a more wide-open game, and the institution of the
shootout, in the 2006 season, one would think the average number
of goals scored per game will increase, thus raising the totals
for NHL hockey betting lines. Also, the scuttlebutt
on the ice is that officials will be rigorously enforcing any
type of interference and holding calls, which should create
more power play opportunities and more chance for scoring.

Also, defensemen must get body position and front the offensive
player before checking him. Finally, interference away from
the puck is being closely watched. The first month of the new
season should be especially rife with penalty calls and expect
NHL Lines to offer a ton of value before the bookmaker can adjust
to these changes.

For years the most common over/under in hockey was 4.5 goals.
It was interesting to note that all bookmakers had to raise
the NHL lines for totals about .90 goals.

Betting the Point Line (also known as the Puck Lines or Money
Lines) tends to be more popular than the over/under wager. Hockey
point lines will look something like this:

Boston Bruins +1.5, 1.90
Montreal Canadiens - 1.5, 1.90

The Canadiens are the home team and at a 1½ goal advantage.
If you bet on Boston, they can lose by one goal and you still
win; if you bet Montreal, they have to win by two goals in order
for you to make money. Putting $10 down at 1.90 means your total
return on a winning wager would be $19.00.

Because there are no more ties in the NHL, the ½ goal
NHL betting line no longer has any validity and a line of plus
or minus one goal can easily result in a push.
